Joao Alvaro Rocha: the absolute heir to European contemporary minimalism and the clear successor of the masters of modern Portuguese architecture:Tavora, Alvaro Siza and Souto de Moura. Rocha is the leading light for the fourth and youngest generation of Portuguese architects, a school which is receiving international accolades for its innovative design, interesting and novel diversity. This lavishly illustrated volume follows the first ten years of Rocha's architectural productivity and depicts over 30 projects from 1991 through 2001.
The almost ascetic nature of his work is shown in private homes, housing complexes, corporate projects, and public and urban projects in which he blends modern architectural language with traditional materials, such as wood and visible stone textures.
